Pensions ECPD Committee - seeking an investment specialist to join the committee

The Pensions Education and Continuing Professional Development (ECPD) Subcommittee is looking to appoint one additional member to join the committee. To complement the existing skills of this committee, we are seeking to find a member who is an investment specialist.

This Committee plays an important role in shaping the content provided in the profession’s CPD events.  They seek to ensure there is a good mix of professionalism, current issues, and hot topics.  The work involved includes listening to members’ feedback and identifying topics and potential speakers and in creating and developing an excellent and varied programme.
